5:41This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 Tech classes empower seniors – GetSetUp broadcasts live online classes, by older people, for older people. Classes are bite-sized, interactive and optimized for those with hearing and seeing difficulties. There’s a strong emphasis on community building, helping users feel less lonely while giving them the tools they need to access vital services such as banking and healthcare. 1:45 Top 10 most efficient ports – More than 80% of global trade is transported via sea. Ports are critical nodes in global supply chains and drivers of economic growth. But they take a toll on the environment through greenhouse gas emissions and air and water pollution. Making ports more efficient boosts their economic benefits and shrinks their carbon footprint. 3:59 Japan's underground freight project – It would run between Tokyo and Osaka, carrying the same amount of cargo every day as 25,000 trucks. It would have 3 main benefits, reducing traffic congestion, cutting transport emissions and tackling Japan’s growing labour shortage. 5:41 How mining shapes our world – The need for clean energy technologies is increasing demand for critical minerals but concerns over harmful extraction processes abound. Jason Bordoff is an expert in global energy policy. He says the energy transition is one of the greatest economic opportunities since the Industrial Revolution. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
